Top loading spinal fixation device and instruments for loading and handling the same

InactiveUS20060025768A1Prevent rotationPreventing the fastener from pivotingSuture equipmentsInternal osteosythesisEngineeringMetatarsal head
A system for introducing an elongated spinal rod comprising a bone fastener having a head, the head including a top end, a bottom end, and a pair of side walls connected at the bottom end defining an elongated U-shaped channel having a first longitudinal axis and a top opening located at the top end. The top opening and the channel further define a passageway configured for receiving the spinal rod and each side wall further defining a first end face and a second end face, the second end face opposite the first end face. A bone engaging element extends from the bottom end of the head for anchoring the bone fastener to the bone. The system further comprises a tool for introducing the rod into the U-shaped channel. The tool includes a first member having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end is configured for guiding the rod through the passageway to introduce the rod into the U-shaped channel through the top opening. A second member defines a second longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis. The second member has first and second ends, the second end having a pair of jaws for securing the tool to one of the side walls of the head of the bone fastener such that second member is disposed outside of the passageway of the spinal rod, and preferably so as not to interfere with or block access to the top opening. The first member is operably associated with the second member such that the first member is pivotable with respect to the second member and linearly translatable in a direction parallel to the second longitudinal axis between the first and second ends of the second member along the second longitudinal axis for introducing the spinal rod through the top opening into the passageway.

Graft fixation device

A graft fixation device combination. The device is useful for affixing a tissue graft to a bone or other body surface. The fixation device has two implantation members connected by a graft retention member. The retention member optionally has at least one lateral wing member extending therefrom. The implantation members have longitudinal passageways therethrough. The graft fixation device also has an insertion member extending from the distal end of each implantation member, the insertion member having a longitudinal passage having a distal blind wall. The passages of the implantation members and the insertion members are in communication with each other, and may be mounted onto insertion members.

Patient-specific content delivery methods and systems

Methods and systems for delivery of digital data in connection with medical treatment and patient care include detecting a current medical condition of a patient receiving medical treatment and delivering electronic informational data to the patient over a network. The informational data can be selected for delivery based on the current medical condition of the patient. The informational data can includes a plurality of informational data content options, and the patient can choose one or more of the informational data content options for delivery to the patient over the network. The chosen content can be displayed to the patient on a digital data display device, such as a touch screen monitor.

Method and system for providing option spread indicative quotes

ActiveUS20050119964A1Easy to participateParticipate more readilyFinanceSpecial data processing applications
A computer network and method for electronically trading combinations of derivatives. One preferred method of trading includes providing quotes information to a central server, and determining indicative quotes for combination trades, and providing the non-binding, indicative quotes to market participants (which typically includes subscribers, but may also include market makers). A participant may then submit an e-RFQ, which is a request for a binding quote for the combination of derivatives. Market Makers may then elect to submit a binding quote for the corresponding derivative combination. Market participants may then elect to enter a binding order.

Motor vehicle comprising a drive train having a multiple clutch drive

The invention relates to measures for controlling or reducing drag torque occurring in a multi-plate clutch device (202) due to temperature-related increased viscosity of an operating fluid which is supplied to the plates in operation. The aim of the invention is to enable a motor vehicle to be started or operated even at low temperatures. According to one aspect of the invention, a motor vehicle comprising a drive train is especially provided. Said drive train comprises a drive unit (238), gearbox (330) having a first gearbox input shaft and a second gearbox input shaft, and a clutch (202) having a first clutch device which is associated with the first gearbox input shaft, and a second clutch device which is associated with the second gearbox input shaft, for transferring torque between the drive unit and the gearbox. Said clutch devices are embodied in the form of plate clutches to which an operating fluid can be supplied, especially a cooling oil in order to operate the same. Said gearbox (330) is associated with an actuator device and a control device (316) for controlling the actuator device, the arrangement of which enables the gears associated with the first and second gearbox input shafts to be engaged and disengaged. According to the invention, the control device (316) is designed in such a way that at least one gear is automatically engaged by means of the actuator device (236), as a result of the clutch release of the vehicle.
